In the scene where Geraldine meets the samurai, it goes from "I say this to him" to "then he said this to me", sort of thing. Bit confusing. I mean, within a paragraph you're changing tenses half a dozen times. Just thought you should know, in case you hadn't noticed it. Didn't happen in the other stories.

If it's intentional, then shut my mouth, but I don't see what purpose it would serve.
Yup, did it on purpose. Thought it sounded more like the way a teenager would recount something, mixing tenses like that. Wanted her part of the story to be sloppy and goofy.
